Researchers found that after an average of 105 hours of tutoring, the children in the intensive reading program read more accurately and with more fluency. Moreover, functional magnetic-resonance imaging revealed that the activity in the brains of children in the intensive intervention group continued to resemble the normal activity found in good readers a year after the experimental intervention had concluded.

The brains of the poor readers receiving normal school interventions didn’t show the same change in brain activity.
